Yellow Medicine East finished fifth Thursday at the first West Central Conference South boys’ golf meet of the season in Olivia.

The Sting carded a 176 as a team to finish just one stroke behind fourth place Morris/Chokio-Alberta in the opening meet of the conference points chase.

Benson/Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg had three golfers card a 41 to edge BOLD and Montevideo by one stroke to take first at the Olivia Golf Club.

Brody Gimberlin, Zach Maurer and Nathan Hawley each tied for fourth place with four other individuals to pace the Braves to a 165. Scott Rauenhorst claimed co-medalist honors for BOLD with a 39, but Benson’s fourth-lowest score was a 42 (Jordan Burns) compared to a 43 for Montevideo and a 44 for BOLD.
